Greg LeMond
from Blamo! Hosted by Jeremy Kirkland, Greg Lemond
My guest this week is former professional cyclist, 3x Tour De France winner, and entrepreneur Greg Lemond. We explore his career in cycling and get into everything from representing the United States as the first American to win the Tour de France to relaunching his company, LeMond Bikes. Greg talks about growing up with no expectation of ever being recognized by mainstream media and how he’s proud of being a part of a manufacturing revolution with carbon fiber to make cycling more accessible to people everywhere. Plus, he lets us in on how e-bikes make you a bionic person? If his perspective on cycling doesn’t make you want to get out and ride, I don’t know what will! ** 🚲💨 TOPICS DISCUSSED 🚲💨 Greg’s “Complete Book of Bicycling” (1988) DOCUMENTARY on the 1986 Tour de France - Slaying the Badger (2014) The Relaunch of Lemond Bikes The Rise and Fall of Lance Armstrong The Red Hook Crit (a Bike race) Greg Lemond Quotes “If you’re confident about yourself, you don’t need to be arrogant.” ** Sponsored by Standard & Strange – Get the facts on denim here.
